2. Basic Configuration
2-14 December 2002 9000-A2-GB31-00
Selecting a Frame Relay Discovery Mode
When a Frame Relay Discovery Mode is active, the FrameSaver unit “discovers”
network DLCIs from the network LMI status response message. It configures a
network DLCI and a user data port DLCI, and automatically connects them to
create a PVC.
Main MenuAuto-Configuration Frame Relay Discovery Mode
Automatically configured network DLCIs are multiplexed, and each autom atically
configured port DLCI carries the same DLCI Number as its corresponding network
DLCI. These are the same DLCI numbers that would have been available ha d the
FrameSaver unit not been inserted in the link, between your equipment and the
network.
NOTE:
A local Management PVC (e.g., the PVC between the router and the
FrameSaver unit’s user data port) must be configured manually.
The following will occur when a Frame Relay Discovery Mode is selected:
